The lens is a rainbow l163vdc4pIt's actually a 1/2 inch sensor lens but I just happened to have one available. It's wide angle and had an iris in it. It's not the best lens for the asi120mc I'm using.I dont get the entire view through it but it's good enough. (for now)Another thing I though of using is an IR-Cutting filter shutter. with the ir filter replaced with something opaque.They're cheaper than a whole auto iris lens..https://www.ebay.com/itm/2Pack-IR-CUT-CS-Lens-Moun...they can use 3.4-5V to trigger the shutter. On the ASI you'd have to find a way to mount it tho.I mainly came up with the iris thing because It was a pain to walk out to the camera. Remove the top. remove the lens.cover the imager.shoot the dark frame.Replace the lens.Re focus (mine always looses focus if I touch t…

"today I'd like a new darkframe. Set it to 1 for dark frameLet the iris close automatically and shoot the frame.

Hello again,I got it running on the Dell Optiplex mini pc. Had to change some syntax in capture.cpp and edit the configs to use my account name on the machine instead of pi (should have just created a pi user on it but.. oh well! =) also had to update libusb but nothing too drastic.I'll get it shoved into a case and let it start watching the skies!

Hello! I've compiled the code and have my camera running on a raspi 2 but I was wondering how hard it would be to compile it to run on a nano sized pc running intel Core i3 64bit with Ubuntu 16.04? the reason being that it has a much larger drive. I can do code for arduino ide but my understanding of editing Makefiles to cross compile to another processor architecture is little to none. I've been doing some digging but I thought I'd ask you to save my sanity! =)Kevin Palivec

just forward port 8081 to the pi in your router and vala, your camera is on the internet.http://<your internet ip>:8081 unless of course your isp blocks outgoing www ports. then you'd have to use a nonstandard port like 10721 or the like.
